I decimated my liver

Story

By: Wyatt

I had a voracious sweet tooth and worked in a bakery. I often brought home very sugary foods, and they rarely lasted more than a couple of days. I had been doing intermittent fasting for about 2 years, but I ate anything.

Shortly after leaving the bakery, I went and stayed at a friend's house for about a month. The first three weeks had a wedding, the friend's birthday, then mine. Thus, I ate a slice of cake a day for three weeks straight. Shortly after that, I developed horrendous arrhythmias, which drastically cut down my sleep. My body was rapidly discharging fluids by the hour and I realized how big my bladder truly was. I felt like I was turning into a big-eyed goldfish, and my neck was on fire.

Finally, one day I drove myself to the hospital while having a panic attack. They ran blood tests only to tell me nothing was wrong. So I went about the next few days like I was fine, the symptoms slowly subsided, and I assumed I was better. Till the last meal out before I went home, filled with fried food, alcohol, and sweets. Sure enough, the symptoms were back. There's something wrong with me, so down the internet rabbit hole, I go for a fix. I figure it's some type of pre-diabetes, so I look for ways to fix it. Eventually, I discover Dr. Berg's channel, each video adding a piece to my dietary puzzle, till I find the video explaining liver damage.

8/24/21 is the day I figured out I had seriously messed up my liver, and I needed to make a change fast. Since that day, I have been doing my best to follow keto/IF, and it has been fantastic so far. I lost 30lbs of belly fat in about a month. My mood and energy is way better, and my feet aren't swelling so much. I've been doing calisthenics regularly, and I'm optimistic about my thirties. Thousands of people have you to thank for their renewed health, and I hope that keeps you and your team motivated. Keep spreading the good word Dr. Berg!
